Legalize recreational marijuana in Georgia

Hear us out. We would like to legalize recreational marijuana in the state of Georgia. By doing so, we can accomplish many goals.

We create jobs.

We increase the economy through sales and a large influx of tourists and business if it's passed before the rest of the United States.

We can pay taxes towards education to increase teachers' salaries as well as putting an end to salary reductions and job loss. We can take it in the opposite direction.

There are fewer negative medical effects of marijuana than alcohol.

We stop over filling prisons and the fines paid for those infractions can be made up in taxes.

By legalizing marijuana in general, we can achieve those goals. By legalizing before the other states, and most importantly being the first in the Southeast region to do so, we can gain the edge on the economy to further us in the right direction economically. It will eventually be legal everywhere, so we should take advantage of the timing and legalize.
